Congratulations to the ones mentioned. We are a remarkable people and would do even more if the necessary infrastructure and support exists.

list based on authors output just for the year 2020 and about 190, 064 names are listed. Again, using excel, I probed the data a little further.

About 165 countries were listed.

Australia has 7140 names, China has 16,604 names, Canada has 7478 names, Germany has 9434 names, France has 5272 names, UK has 15,843 names, Italy has 6126 names, Japan has 5416 names, the USA has 66,233 names listed, South Africa has 752 names listed, while Nigeria has 121 names listed which is about 0.064% globally.

In Nigeria, 17 are from UI, 8 from Covenant university, also 8 from UNN, 6 from FUTA, 5 from OAU, 4 from Landmark University, 4 from Unilag…no other university in Nigeria has up to 4 names listed. Harvard University has about 1763 names listed.

N.B for the purpose of this, Harvard university included Harvard Business School, Harvard Medical School and other Harvard affiliates. While UI includes researchers from UCH and College of Medicine, Ibadan.

Thank you for the breakdown. Like I've stated countless times, no country can compete with the US in teritary institutional research. This book explains it: https://www.amazon.com/Markets-Minds-Money-University-Research/dp/0674244230

For Nigeria to excel in research output, the country has to be rich as there's a limit to what the private sector can fund. Then again, it takes a rich and vibrant private sector to fund R & D effortlessly. The country needs GDP growth of minimum 10% for ten consecutive years for a noticeable change to occur.

That said, kudos to Covenant University, compared to private universities that started during the same period or even earlier (Madonna University), she has performed tremendously well.

Reading Nigerian university research paper is like reading Rhapsody of Reality from pastor Christ. It is all full of bull's crap.

Because their rubbish papers get thrown away when they send it to international research journals, Nigeria lecturers have set up their own, where every manner of nonsense is accepted as a research work, even when they have no rigour, methodology nor adhere to the principle of verifiability and replicability.

The same reason we have greatest number of books written by charlatans (mostly pastors) in the world, 99% of them worthless than tissue paper.

GorillaApp:
Nothing widespread there! Just two tribes dominating that list

Whose fault? Was there any government policy clearly spelt out preventing Northern Nigerians from seeking Western education?

Amongst all this scientist non comes from the polytechnic community or other related tertiary institution...
Nigeria will continue to be it's own problems..

I'm not not blaming anyone. I responded to the op who said it is well spread.

Afriqan:


Don't mind him. As if education is by quota system. If you cannot study, maybe the FG should give you a free certificate because of your tribe...

Go and read my post again.

peculiar2233:

The other tribe are also doing well in terrorism and banditry

Lol.

no unizik lecturer? nawa o

motymop:
SCIENTISTS YET NO RESULTS

IITA Is trying in the area of research... but they are mostly naturalized Nigerians.
From my personal experience with them, I feel that it's riddled with bribery and corruption.

Really

Any reference(s) where this list was culled from?

okeyumez:
There's no scientist in Nigeria. Let's stop fooling ourselves. We only have theory scientists with plenty grammar. Why hasn't any so called scientist in Nigeria discovered vaccine for malaria or covid 19 drugs? No scientist in Nigeria has built transformers, phones, X-ray machines, motor engines, photocopy machines or spaceship. We only study to have titles and depend on white man.

Wow... Very factual and straight to the point. Thanks for pointing this out.

You're a blockhead that just likes to comment about something you know nothing about. In a thread where a top-rated University like Stanford listed many Nigerians as top 2% of researchers in the world, yet you're making such ignorant comment about Nigerian lecturers research not accepted by International Journals. You think Stanford will list these people here if their research is not groundbreaking and published in International Journals of repute?

my supervisor is on that list and from what I know about the work he has done, you are wrong. we might have few inventors not few scientist
